Hello, My landlord gave me 12 months’ notice for eviction because he was interested in selling the property. Now I found out he gifted the unit to his son and re-rented the property. Can I claim compensation?

Good day, I would like to seek clarification regarding the possibility of obtaining a new labour contract in Dubai while a travel ban is in place. 1. If a person currently has a travel ban, is it possible for them to obtain a new labour contract when starting a new job? 2. Can the hiring company apply for a new labour contract even if the candidate has a travel ban? 3. Will the new company be notified or become aware of the travel ban once they submit the labour contract application? For context, the candidate was previously on a spouse visa, which was successfully renewed despite the travel ban. Your guidance on this matter will be highly appreciated.

Hello, We hired a live-in domestic worker under a 2-year visa and contract/sponsorship through one of the Tadbeer companies. However, after her visa was issued, her performance dropped, and issues started arising. We invested in training her to ensure her performance; instructions and schedules were posted. All documented evidence and even improvement letters were signed by her. But it escalated into continuous repeated mistakes and negligence of duty, with risks to childcare safety, breach of privacy, and she admitted to falsifying her CV and other facts. A few days ago, she refused to work. We informed the agency, and they documented the case as refusal and abandonment for the first 2 days. They advised us to relieve her from childcare duties, which we did immediately. She kept refusing other duties. Then the agency reached out, saying she cannot be forced to work, and she left. I am confused about employer rights: is this considered resignation (with nothing written), or breach? The office says no need, as they are her sponsor, and no notice is needed to us either.

Hello, I had filed a case at RDC against my landlord as they had not responded to my legal notice for cancellation, and they had not officially renewed the contract for 2 years as well. I won the case, and the verdict came for contract cancellation. I filed for enforcement after 15 days, and it has been a month since then. The contract is still showing as active on the Dubai REST app. I had disconnected my DEWA and given notice 3 months in advance of the contract expiry date. What can I do now to ensure that they cancel the contract?

What legal action can I take if my ex-wife is living with her boyfriend, unmarried, and she has the custody of our 3-year-old daughter and is brainwashing her that the boyfriend is her father?

Hi, I have a cassation case with a 50000 dhs judgment as I appeal, but my lawyer didn't attend the session, and the fine remains the same. One of my employee work with another company and was caught by CID, and they issued a 50k fine for me. Now I want to appeal again, please help me with proper guidance. Two appeals were already made, but my lawyer didn't attend; he breached the trust. I can't afford that much, as I have not done anything wrong. Please guide me.

I live in Dubai. I received an eviction notice last year from the company that owned my apartment on the pretext of sale. The apartment was subsequently sold to an individual, and I have paid him the rent once. Does the eviction notice have any legal standing now?

I urgently need legal assistance in Dubai. I'm facing multiple execution cases, a criminal complaint for a bounced cheque, and several personal debts under agreements. The total amount is around AED 500,000. Due to execution orders, my UAE bank accounts are blocked, some with negative balances from cheque enforcement, making it impossible to use them for settlements. I do have international accounts and can withdraw up to AED 35,000 per day, of which I am ready to allocate AED 30,000 daily for settlements and legal fees. I am looking for a licensed lawyer or firm that can represent me in all these cases, negotiate with creditors, assist in making payments (either via courts, banks, or through your office), and provide a clear roadmap to resolve everything. I also need guidance on how long banks will take to unblock accounts and clear negative balances after settlement. If I pay the bank directly, will the accounts be immediately restored and cases closed? Please share your fee estimate.

Can we stop deportation from the UAE after serving a sentence if we have a criminal case in our home country, India, and there's a threat to life and imprisonment due to that case there if we get deported?

We went to the hospital for an emergency and stayed for 3 days, then, before leaving, they asked us to pay 10% as per our insurance policy. After 2 weeks, they informed us that the insurance policy covers only 2k, and we have to pay 3.2k, the balance I was not informed about before. Then, they sent the invoice to debt collectors to warn us What shall we do now? I read that they have to tell us about the cost in advance. Can this debt collector sue us?
